    Is the Championship bigger now then it was when we were last there?

    Yes. In years gone by I noticed the near constant drone of a lot of our fans thinking we had a divine right to be in the top flight. It's all now that bit more easy to accept playing in the lower divisions and tremendously exciting looking forward to next season ! If we're down near the bottom...

    Congratulations on your promotion

    Dont know how much truth was in the story I heard but if Wolves get relegated to the EFL in the future, they will get done for their massive overspending a couple of years ago while in the Championship and might just get relegated straight into L1. Cant see them facing that prospect for a good...

    Wankers

    Most of the responses were fair and generous. Dont know why the OP thought it was a good idea to call them wankers ?

    Tomorrow is the day

    Fuckin hope so. I just put a bottle of sparkling wine in the fridge to get stuck into while doing an important Zoom league management committee meeting. Im supposed to behave myself but fook em. These type of days dont come around too often.

    Young city fan dies

    16 years old. That's an absolute tragedy. R.I.P. Kyle (A lad in Norwich died a month ago who had undiagnosed type 1 diabetes. Poor lad was on the conveyor belt to becoming a great footballer but snatched away at 15 years of age.)

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Get Akinfenwa in. Keep feeding him then stick him in goal as the reserve keeper. Going to take a very accurate, swinging shot to get round that huge body.

    Why are male footballers wearing bras?

    Rugby players wear something similar too. You can see the box of tricks under their shirts at the back of the neck. I often wondered why top teams had several guys tapping away at laptops while the game was on then found out it was how to work out who's performance was beginning to drop away...

    Two years ago today....

    Losing finalists always feck off p.d.q after the final whistle. Not surprisingly, they wouldn't have wanted to hear 43,000 living it up, particularly as they had lost the final the previous year too. Cant remember who it was on SBT who said it, (but the anecdote stays with me !), walking round...

    Most Shocked About A Result

    Yes. The players being released had already been told their fate and were in no mood to play their hearts out for the club. Abysmal performance all round.

    Just how big is our fan base ?

    I got a food poisoning bug earlier last week and lost 7lbs in one night. Found at one stage in the night that it was easier sleeping on the khasi than getting back to bed only to return to the bathroom again and again. A rapid weight loss not particularly recommended !

    Championship favourite fixtures....

    Carrow Road 5 miles for me so could even walk that if the weather is ok and fans allowed to attend. Plenty of great city centre boozers so the last mile could be a bit tasty !

    Black Prince pub in tile hill

    I guess with the Coventry car industry to the south and coal mines to the north, Bedworth men had plenty of money to spend in the pubs until it all went tits up decades ago.

    Black Prince pub in tile hill

    I was a regular attendee at Silk at the Plough. The place heaved most nights they were on and particularly when they hosted the London band Hackensack ! Man...they were loud ! When Silk had to move on, I think the next port of call was the Gosford on Humber Road in the back room then the pub on...

    Black Prince pub in tile hill

    Perhaps 40 years ago, I agreed to play for a Walsgrave pubs darts team for a short while. We had an away match at the Live and Let Live and made the mistake of taking an early lead. Going by the growling and muttering, we didnt try too hard from then onwards and eventually lost. At the end, the...

    Kenny Sansom

    Poor sod. His life has certainly taken a nose dive from his peak days playing for Arsenal and England.
